Who we are
About us
We connect people who need blood with verified, active voluntary donors and licensed blood centres, anywhere in Assam.
What we are
- A voluntary donor network: real people who said "call me" and reconfirm they're still ready.
- A directory of licensed blood centres, from Assam State Blood Transfusion Council lists.
- Independent, nonprofit, registered in Dibrugarh, built for all of Assam.
What we are not
- Not a blood bank. We do not collect, store, test or sell blood.
- Not a replacement for hospitals, donations happen at licensed centres only.
- Not a paid service. Donors are never paid; paying for blood is illegal in India.
Why this matters in Assam
Most blood in Assam still comes from family and replacement donors, patients' own relatives. When a family can't produce a donor, they search alone. A verified voluntary network means nobody starts from zero. (Source: Assam State Blood Transfusion Council data.)
How requests work
- A relative submits a request, it goes live in seconds.
- Compatible, active, consented donors near the hospital are alerted right away.
- Donors accept or decline with one tap. The requester is connected with the donor and the licensed centre.
- Outcome recorded. Fake requests are reported and hidden automatically.
Donor phone numbers are never published. They unlock per-request, only after a donor accepts.
Our promises
- Minimum data: no address, no Aadhaar, no medical records, no patient details, ever.
- Every outbound claim sourced. No exaggerated impact numbers.
- Donors can take a 14-day break, export their data, or request account deletion from the dashboard.
- Finances and policies on the transparency page as they exist.
Who started this
Assam Blood Donor was started in 2026 and is run by Madhurjya Sarmah, a backend engineer from Assam who has donated blood 18 times himself, and keeps counting. He builds and maintains the platform as a volunteer: no ads, no fees, no data selling. He also runs a web development company and northeastweb.in, a web company for North East India.

Go deeper
This project runs in the open. The transparency report tracks real numbers against our claims, the founder page explains why a backend engineer builds a donor network, and the donor register page explains exactly how verification and matching work. Want the medical side? The knowledge base covers eligibility, blood groups and the system in plain language, in অসমীয়াতো. Organisations should read how partnerships work.
